With the general aspect of those species of Anagrus and Anaphes hav- 

 ing slender bodies and more or less naked fore wings (for example, 

 Anaphes gracilis Howard and pallipes Ashmead; Anagrus io Girault 

 and agilis Enock). Body with a rather long thorax and a conic-ovate, 

 sessile abdomen, the tip of the ovipositor slightly exserted and the 

 valves sheathlike and acute at tip. Fore wings rather slender, with 

 nearly parallel margins, practically naked, with only these discal cilia 

 a longitudinal but somewhat crooked line of about eight minute 

 cilia near the caudal wing margin originating caudad of the distal half 

 of the marginal vein just distad of the edge of the fumated area and 

 a paired line of nearly similar cilia along the costal margin from apex 

 of the venation to the wing apex or nearly (but the outer or cephalic 

 line of cilia absent proximad, some distance distad of the apex of the 

 venation). Fore wings not margined with dusky or yellowish. Mar- 

 ginal cilia of the fore wing long and slender, moderately fine, longest 

 around the apex (especially caudo-distad), the longest cilia about 

 twice the greatest wing width. Marginal vein narrow, long and 

 straight, tapering off at apex, nearly as long as the very narrow sub- 

 marginal and bearing two long, fine setas from its surface. Caudal 

 wings straight and narrow, their marginal cilia likewise long but that 

 of the cephalic margin much shorter (moderately short), the marginal 

 ciliation distinctly shorter than that of the fore wings, yet the longest 

 (disto-caudad) are about four and a half times the greatest width of 

 the blade of the posterior wings or somewhat longer. The blade of 

 the posterior wings is devoid of discal ciliation excepting a paired line 

 of minute cilia along the cephalic margin distad of the venation and a 

 single short line along the caudal margin distad of the venation. The 

 latter line does not extend by far half way out to the apex of the 

 blade. 



Tarsi 4-jointed, the joints moderate in length, the proximal joint 

 longest. Tibial spurs single, minute, short, those of the cephalic legs 

 longer, curved, fimbriate or provided with spines along its ventral 

 side like Signiphora and forming a strigil. 



Antennas 8-jointed, somewhat abnormal, the distal or fifth funicle 

 joint abruptly lengthened, appearing somewhat like a proximal joint 

 of the club, the latter only a third longer than it and no broader yet 

 very much larger than any of the other funicle joints. Scape slightly 

 shorter than the club, moderately long; pedicel short obconic, longer 

 and much wider than the first funicle joint; funicle joints 1-4 cylin- 

 drical, all longer than wide, increasing in length distad, joint 1 shortest, 

 not much longer than wide, 2 a fourth longer, 3 slightly longer than 

 the pedicel, twice the length of 1; joint 4 of the funicle a fourth 

 longer than 3, somewhat more than twice longer than wide; re- 

 maining portion of antenna like a long, plainly and loosely divided
